ari, is it fair to go after susan rice like this? >> i don't think it's a question go after or don't go after, but she did attribute this to the video, she did working off of intelligence say something that was incomplete. and of course as we learned in that famous second debate, the president apparently did declare this specific attack as terrorist the day after the attack took place. so if the president could do it one day after, why was she saying something totally different five days after? >> would it be wise, james, for the president to go ahead and nominate here to be hillary clinton's successor as secretary of state? >> if that's what he wants to do, he should. i mean, she's been a long distinguished career as a diplomat. she's now u.n. ambassador. she's obviously imminently qualified. she was talking off of the talking points. i guess you could criticize the administration to put the u.n. ambassador out on something that really wasn't in her chain of command or line of duty and probably wasn't the most knowledgeable person t

and now we hear that maybe two or three senators that don't like what susan rice did on a sunday show a couple of weeks ago could aeffectively stand in the way of having the president having the secretary of state that he wants out there in the world. is that another reform? >> they don't seem enthusiastic about that. my favorite is jim bunning, the republican from kentucky, once put a hold on a nomination, i think, to the trade commission because he was upset that canada was borrowing chocolate-flavored cigars and importing them. so you can put a hold on for anything. and they seemed to kind of like that. that doesn't seem to be on the top of their priority list. the top is just to be able to get a bill to the floor and have a debate on it without having the 60-vote thing. >> i think to follow up on joe's point about the susan rice issue and the idea of a hold, what are the political impacts of filibusters in this new environment that we find ourselves in post-election and particularly with respect to the susan rice piece which is -- ha, gender, all these little sexy pieces to it, ho
